if .9 AOPLZCA Girls Chorus was organized in September, 1943, with fifty girls enrolled. Twenty-four of this group were selected for State Regional Competitions which were held in May, 1944. The Chorus received an A rating and were judged the best chorus of the day. In September, 1944, fifty-five girls enrolled for chorus. At the end of the semester Mrs. Smythe selected thirty-six girls for contest work. This group of girls will represent Seminole High School in the Regional Contest. ln December, 1944, the chorus presented a contata, Carols of Christmas. They also furnished programs for the Lions Club, Rotarians, Womens Church Federation, and assembly pro- grams for the high school. The chorus was combined with the band in several benefit concerts. Seminole High School is indeed fortunate to have Mrs. Glenn Smythe as choral director and the girls chorus has proved a valuable addition to our school. ' I5 f x ll' ! ll!

IOHNNIE GILMER DALE MCCOQK Drum M059 Director With capable student leadership, the Band has operated for the past two years on a Democratic basis oi student self-government. A constitution and by-laws were drawn up outlining purposes ot Band and suggesting procedure to accomplish those purposes. Self-imposed fines for infractions of these rules not only help to teach self-discipline, but provide funds tor picnics and probable Spring banquet. t Regular meetings each month offer a chance to practice this self-govern- ment and also provide a time and place for soloists and ensembles to play new numbers for the first time. The Band membership express appreciation to their officers and librarians, Almeta Lindley and Charlie Iarneson and their property manf Kenneth Mun- nerlyn for their leadership and throughout the year.
